Boxing-themed CatWalk hopes to KO cancer

"Everyone knew when they stepped into the Westford Regency Inn & Conference Center on April 8,

They all were the greatest fighters around.

Cancer thought more than 60 models were clowns,

But they called the rounds.

More than 560 fans came to see a great fight, But all the models did was put out the light.

Never put your money against passionate director Robert Orr,

For you will never be a bore."

-- With apologies to Muhammad Ali

WESTFORD -- CatWalk for CancerCare hosted the sixth annual Fashion Show, benefiting Lowell General Hospital's Team Walk for CancerCare. The boxing-themed models came out strong, wearing everything from outlandish wedding and ball gowns to jeans, donning pink, black, white and red boxing gloves, because the theme was to "Fight Cancer."

The uplifting and courageous models were cancer survivors, those who have lost someone to cancer, or modeling in honor of someone who has fought cancer. They all fought the good fight that evening and won the World Heavyweight Championship to eradicate cancer.

A special thank you to sponsors and vendors, including Athena's and Black Box Boutique, Sears, Land's End, J.Jill, Torrid, The Paper Store, Andrew Orr-Skirvin, and co-chairs Donna Bauchiero and Lyndsay Saba.
